welcome to the build log of the compensator this will be a computer with no stops pulled for Titan X's 128 gigabytes of gddr5 1.2 terabyte nvme drive from Intel and an Intel 59 60 X and some benchmarks to crush if you want to see more build logs in the future wreck the like button let's do this freshbooks is the super simple invoicing solution that lets you get organized save time and get paid faster click now to try for free this won't be a particularly hard computer to build it's just gonna be kind of particularly epic these white boxes if you guys are wondering where the heck these are these are all the Titan X's this is the SLI bridge that I'm gonna have to use yep 128 case random just insane Dominator platinum 2400 it comes with lighting strips cool so you could take your USB 3.0 header plug it in here and then you'd have a USB 2.0 plug that you could plug into your board down here nice some cable management stuff that's pretty cool some rings and take this Keijo back here just so I have better access to cable management stuff I kind of hoped that these fans were separate so this is for lights so there's I guess 3 yeah there's three different lighting strips in this bag that comes with the case you have these three knobs so you can I guess control the brightness we'll have to see later on when I put in the motherboard I like having the case on its side and this thing on its side is huge this block is far too large but my problem with this case is I have to fit it up here and I did it in totally the wrong order I should have installed this first all right we are back to essentially nothing Wow that's a problem these light cables back here are super in a way there I'm gonna squish on those at little LEDs but I think they'll be okay wow that's close clearance so yeah at this point I don't know if I would necessarily recommend a triple rad in this case I've already had to undo a lot of screen things in I hate that so much I've got the board back in and the cooler is being fed through so I just installed two screws into the motherboard and I'm not gonna do any more for now I just want to make sure that I can get this cooler installed I have to remove this obviously I'm not gonna do that quite yet because I just want to make sure it fits first it's alright fractal good job these short cables were like perfect I think that's how I'm supposed to do it where I wasn't that screwing oh these are the ones I'm supposed to be using the first one I got was this done installed that was a nightmare so we're now back on track I'm gonna finish screwing in the motherboard because I kind of gave up after two screws people like selfie stuff this might not make a ton of aesthetic sense right now once the graphics cards light up because they're all stock coolers they'll all have green lights and then it should work how do I want to do the fans okay so for the CPU pump I'm probably not gonna go behind the motherboard naturally and I'm gonna try to use this splitter but it might not work okay so now I have a little triple fan thing going through the back kind of cool that it can already reach I should have install the power supply first god I knew it so the reason I just did all of that and wasted a whole bunch of time time to do a whole bunch more work is because this cable can go like this instead of either coming through this hole or going through one of these holes and coming all the way up and looking super dumb I'm just going to go for gold and let's tell everything right now before I install this cooler I think you've pretty graphics card in it just looks a billion times better - is it possible for MDOT to things like super booming over half this plane whoa look cooling and this is going to be interesting alright so we're just doing some cable management so we're getting really freakin close to being done I have to put the glass panels on but I want to test to make sure the system works first and I have to put the cover or the screws of the gratis cards on and then we're pretty much done but I wanted fans in the top because the area of the computer that has the graphics cards in it is going to be very starved for air the chopsticks win again oh my goodness the SLI bridge chopsticks okay are like plates on I know but there's no lights on Oh dirt so it's not posting we're gonna swap in a much the lower capacity sixteen gigabyte you kiddin Ram just nothing yeah I just wasn't posting most of the time oh my god I don't have time for this I would actually try CPU first Oh the chip was dead it's not posting and we're trying to figure out why I've never tried oh so it was CPU twice I don't know maybe it just needed everything so what I'm doing now is installing the PCI Express power to another board are those chips dead or at least one of them think so I'm building her back hey Linus come check this out that's like internet for me yeah so it comes in three RGB lighting strips that you can control manually on the back okay we might have found the place that time you're like so our top GPU GPU one is running at 52 degrees idle our second GPU is running at 47 and 48 degrees idle our third GPU is running at about forty four forty five degrees idle and our last one our fourth GPU is running at 37 degrees idol so that bottom one is doing a lot better than the others but we'll see how much they heat up once we actually start benchmarking all right benchmarking is complete this rake would have seriously benefited from water cooling the graphics cards as they were all riding on about twenty or eighty three degrees and probably would have done better with GPU boost if the result wasn't eighty-three degrees all the time our issue with the RAM ended up being solved by a su saving the day again there should be a public bios of the one that we used fairly soon so don't worry too much about that if you want to recreate something here all that being said issues did remain there were micro stutters all over the place with the sli setup that we had and it rendered certain parts of certain games almost unplayable our rig crushed 3d mark and it was cool to get into the top 1% of systems even without overclocking although if that leaderboard was based on price for performance it probably would have been a different story in conclusion I'm happy with the results of this experiment but the true conclusion will come next year when we make the compensator 2.0 this rig did really well in the games we tested it in but we don't really have any proper comparative data for that because we never really run our games on that insane of settings all the time and yet again the parts we chose were silly why were those parts silly well four-way SLI is kind of nuts check out Linus's scaling video here to explore that more 128 gigabytes of ram is also quite a bit over the top check out Linus's video on that exact very kit here and CPUs that tear a little bit unnecessary for gaming or a lot a bit unnecessary for gaming check out my video on that here I hope you guys enjoyed obvious exploration of the bleeding edge thanks for watching guys if this video sucks do you know what to do but if it was awesome get subscribed hit that like button or even consider supporting us directly by using our affiliate code to shop at Amazon buying a cool t-shirt that doesn't have anything to do with Mozilla or with the direct monthly contribution through the community forum now that you're doing all of that stuff you're probably wondering what to watch next so click the little button in the top right hand corner to check out this video where I check out the 980ti Arctic storm edition from ZOTAC
